in the provincial french town of montrose life is taking its usual. but today they are in for a surprise russian troops from the napoleonic wars have heard it's a great day. the likes of these men have not been seen here for the past two hundred yes it's almost as though a full parade has traveled through time. but with typical of the day. comes from a family of six and he's learned to sing the old version of the. became. a silly had to try to pursue he still believes the question. is relevant to what you would say the bottle ended in a draw but it was an honorable. there's no doubt the french emerged victorious they did override the battlefields to have a seize the battlefield. was the victory but even if it was a victory it was

a costly one. med blood to ensure good morning coastguards well over at least hats off for her. big sight mountain grandeur of paris has still a long way in the future for now the course like so just beginning to get ready for the journey. and it all started here exactly one year ago. hats on. bacilli is making ready to ride his horse is called. good boy come over here for a ride now. just like a member of the family they often joke at the horses or even more death and their wives and children. need to talk to him all the time you see he's just like

a toddler he sees the world the same way. from all over the area have come to take part in the journey none of them has their own horse they haven't even seen. until now. but still tamed only a short while ago refused even to allow anyone to enter his stable. see that his head greatest concern is to keep his head out of homes away if he lets me do that means he likes and trusts me. with. the continental journey consisted of nothing but intense training. camps to writing tricks and how to shoot. on horseback. if you don't. sit up straight. the chief.

has spent a lifetime teaching me how to handle horses. he's one of the few to teach how to keep steady in the saddle riding at full speed and. as well as how to do spectacular horseback stunts. my wife says to me why on earth do you need all that talk and i explain it to a woman they don't understand it. all men are warriors at heart some more than others some don't have much of it others have quite a lot i think i have a good deal of it. the regions of the homeland for the cossacks but true a few and far between even here. today villages are becoming deserted with young villages moving to big cities whether or no horses or old ways of life because of. the russian don't horse breed or in need of protection. there are

only about two hundred sixty mares of this breed left in the world they are on the verge of extinction. every kusiak is supposed to be good at handling a whip and a sort. of every cause that carried them. thank the french audience at the final performance in fontainebleau enjoyed the cossacks outstanding ability to juggle with swords today this looks like a circus act but two centuries ago who couldn't pull off such feats were regarded as a failure even caustic women demonstrated outstanding skills. these horsemen from the kremlin riding school it's the world's only school to teach these traditional equestrian skills. after a detailed analysis of his defeat napoleon noted that the cossacks have ensured russia's success he said cossacks were the best like troops of the day and if he'd

had them in his army he could have marched across the whole world is. that old as you are good morning cossacks gratings. it was pavel marshall cough who came up with the idea of the march from moscow to paris. the businessman and stud farm owner spends all of his earnings on horses his main ambition is to revive the dawn breed. they are beautiful. pavel owns a large stable and past as well he's also building a cossack settlements for tourists to go horse riding. with. this lovely little mare is only two years old should need to wait another three years before she can fall for more of a what would you my beauty. well look they've been you all over poor thing.

believes these horses are russia's best asset and something to be proud of. it hurts when people say bad things about cossacks they may call drunkards fools layabouts all sorts there really is sad to report and what's worse some people even write off our most recent victories in world war two my grandfather commanded a division during that war so i know the hardships people went through. the starting point for the much was moscow's killed in oldest twenty twelve it was here in eighteen twelve on the second of september the napoleon waited in vain to be given the keys to the capital they never came. soon afterwards moscow was plundered and razed to the ground. two years later russian troops led by the coast like chieftain cloth of approached. napoleon dreaded the backlash the field the

russians would do to paris the friendship done to moscow. the. this ground one hundred twenty kilometers from moscow is almost as familiar to the french as it is to the russians the battlefield of. the cossacks raced across the field where some one hundred thousand people died in a single day over forty thousand russians and nearly sixty thousand frenchmen. this is was an attack by the men of celebrated russian chieftain plus might have looked like. the russians launched an assault to gain the breathing space they needed to bring up there was. men one to alice to regroup overwhelming the french on the left flank. the cossacks ahead and.

it's those events. of his fifty. he fails to achieve superiority even the french are confident that. russia was victorious. there were all sorts of situations the end of the day. took place in the twentieth century. platoon into two sections. to repeat the maneuvers of the russian offensive from

two hundred years ago. the legend of a hasty french retreat has been passed down here from generation to generation. of children to forward the french turn tail they hid napoleon's golden carriage people still look for it as you can see we two are trying to find it it's ours we call it the belorussian treasure belongs to the. locals have left no stone unturned in search of the prize even in swamps and people alas they have never found the golden carriage. in the local villages only a few elderly residents remain. i don't think more than a dozen young people live here. pensions only income twice a week they come to the bus stop to wait for a shop trailer this time the mobile shop is late and instead of the residents are greeted by cossacks approaching on the horizon. we say welcome the cossacks with

bunches of flowers. such handsome horses that hello there. comes close on the heels of the cossacks the old people form a queue to buy the basic necessities of life. support the order to secure. the cossacks stopping here on their journey to paris will be the topic of many conversations for a long time to come nothing so exciting has ever happened here. such a long way to paris it might be difficult to travel on horseback there. on the fifteenth day of the journey the cossacks have made it to poland in two weeks they've covered the same distance as russian troops did during this two month

long pursuit of napoleon. in december eight hundred twelve napoleon into russia with a fifty thousand strong elite but he left with only fifteen hundred. frostbitten troops. was now a foregone conclusion. that's. because more than a cossack he's also a historian and writer his latest book will tell the story of this journey is keeping a diary. is a once in a lifetime chance i couldn't turn it down. you know the love. me enough the french one nearly every battle but as the russian army increased in number it was quite apparent that the french would win thing by the time the polian was retreating to poland has only had almost run out of artillery provisions and

even forces. buzz off it's mine you've got yours finish it. unlike vassileva rennick alexei never sets of does not hail from the dawn area even though he's from he still has cost like blood in his veins. aside from being a music teacher he also leads a caustic troupe in his village and teaches caustic writing skills to local children. his name is when he was an unruly stallion he wouldn't let anybody into his stable but now he is quite gentle such horses except only tender treatment the horse of the dawn breed is his master's horse once you've established a bond with him he'll be devoted to you for as long as he lives he'll fight for you .

likes it germany is just as legendary in europe as but i do know is in russia. oh historians describe a battle of nations austrian prussian and swedish troops joining the russians in their fight against napoleon. around a hundred thousand died in the battle which forced napoleon to flee back to france with what remained of his army. we cover some forty kilometers a day early in retreat it is about the same pace again even momentum with time. was simply lagging behind only plots of his men had skirmishes in the poland's regard. although the forests here look much as they do back home the cossacks already feel homesick they've covered more than two thousand kilometers in over

a month. this journey is making me homesick. i miss my kids my wife my parents. lived a life that they. did it.

from this is the final leg of the journey the last stop before a final push towards napoleon's residence at fontainebleau. three thousand kilometers away from moscow. followed the route that the russians took as. russia and then pursued him across the whole of europe. the emperors pointing at us rio the heroes. sure. two hundred years later russian. the monument to the great napoleon bonaparte. the boys invasion of russia napoleon had made the call. to scamper resumes

propaganda of the day painted them as bearded giants. even eating people he went so far as to claim that a peruvian woman with her little daughter had fall on her knees before the chieftain begging him not to eat it. two hundred years ago russian could hardly imagine. that creates them now. in eight hundred twelve it was immediately evident that the cossacks behave decently despite their tough and uncouth reputation. the first was noble in victory . and rapists even released prisoners of. today cossacks and frenchmen march side by side. a french businessman he's been active in russia's area for twelve years. is

diplomatic in his assessment of the. you're going to see anyone who finds themselves a team two cultures has to be. both sides of their goals the french wanted to reach moscow when they did the russians wanted to halt the french advance and prevent their army. they too succeeded in your view that it. would never occur to. them one day he might see the palaces where. to reside. in eight hundred fourteen the russians occupied paris and completely blocked napoleon where he was waiting to learn his fate. the cossacks were very disciplined . behaved very decently in france. instance and made the camp was even hanged for robbing a peasant woman of. it was here that napoleon signs

of document of abdication neither he nor his descendants would occupy the throne again he had given up his intention to fight until victory and the cossacks never had to storm fontainebleau. though not quite historically accurate. into the grounds. here in the farewell courtyard there's a grand staircase and it was here the farewell to his guards. and his ambitions to create a greater france he travelled into exile under russian escort. the lad who was. with michael on the memories of russia returns to france just a hundred years later when many emigrated seeking refuge from the bolshevik revolution. this woman says her grandfather came to france with a white army. and this child in the picture is her father it was taken in one

thousand eight hundred his name was nikolai which you bring up that was like it's great to meet such people so far away from your homeland you. the day after the occupation of the cossacks head to the famous russian cemetery at . lowick and they're off their horses in the bear from a horseback perception yes i heard about them they are fine bunch they're here to celebrate the battle of. many famous russian immigrants are buried here they include literary nobel prize winner. and the celebrated ballet dancer rudolf nuria . this commemorates the cossacks and army officers who left russia after the nine

hundred seventeen revolution. the. to. be. close to one million russians fled to france though many lived to ripe old ages their thoughts remained with their lost homeland. they were still the depressing thought is that true russians are buried here at the russia that came after them was not their russia at all or their russia is gone forever. when russia's white came to france the country was still in ruins reeling from the devastation wrought by world war one in which over a million frenchmen died. i read a story in the next patrick magazine about a migrant talking about a year he said the cost would make the rounds of local farms he was employed as

a farm hand that was just a cover. like saying that his real job was reviving the local population because one summer with them i will probably. with the journey reaching its aims the cossacks take a sightseeing tour of paris as it turns out the traditional habits of population revival still very much alive. and attention yeah this is the so-called sex quarter sex cafes and sex shops everywhere and this is the famous. hey guys let's get off here. two hundred years ago when the russians took paris not a single painting went missing from the roof though it's true that some cause x. tore up the floors from french homes to burn on can find us. they also caught hold a famous cup in the fontainebleau colonies. the model cossacks led by alexander

high point of the parisien two of the heavily built one that has first came to the city. i've only seen it on. even before and now here i am in paris it's fantastic a dream come true. and right next to the eiffel tower the cossacks met a few russian speaking french month one for five or ten. because sex adopted many french practices off their return to russia an eight hundred fourteen course like women spoke to tight fitting blouse to triumph will build him a concept town of no bitch a cask that stole shaped streets were laid out in the paris model one of the how minutes was even close powers. yes i.
